You're invited to the book launch for Will Morning Ever Come by Darren Tomalty

Darren

Dear
Brian,

I learned so much from attending 3 or 4 of your workshops, thank you
Brian. The fire in my belly never went away, even when I moved downtown Toronto.

I wanted to let you know that I made a valiant attempt at conventional
publishing houses, query letters and the like. After 2 years of beautifully
written rejection emails by some of the best agents, I went Indie with my book.
It's been a fun ride.

The story is fiction but delves into struggles of coming out with a
bigoted father, sexual confusion, nightclubs, substance abuse, all
while being humorous and hopeful. The
underlying theme is a postcard to Montreal and a love story between a father
and son. Comparables would be a gay Secrets of Ya Ya Sisterhood, Fried Green Tomatoes, Piano Man's Daughter and
The Prince of Tides.

My sincere appreciation. More than anything, I would like to share
positive messages about difficult struggles with the younger generation.
